Questions? Call us at(919) 968-2011 • Deliver Application to: 501 West Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC NARRATIVE SCHOOL PROFILE Founded in 1958, Estes Hills Elementary School is one of the oldest schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district. Estes Hills is a neighborhood school in the truest sense, with many students from the surrounding homes walking to school. This proximity to the neighborhood also results in a high level of parental involvement in the school. In the current academic year (2012-2013), Estes Hills Elementary serves 566 children from kindergarten through fifth grade. The school has 25 traditional classrooms, and offers programs in Exceptional Education, Gifted Education, and English as a Second Language. Estes Hills also provides "specials" instruction in French, Art, Music, and Physical Education. This year a Head Start pre-school program, serving 13 children, was added to the campus. Our student body is fairly evenly divided along gender lines (300 Male / 266 Female), and has a diverse racial composition: White (54%), Hispanic (15%), Black (14%), Asian (8%), Multi-Racial (7%), and American Indian (2%). For the 2013-2014 academic year, we anticipate a similarly structured study body with a slight reduction in class size. The opening of the new Northside Elementary School in August will alleviate overcrowding at Estes Hills, resulting in a projected enrollment of approximately 480-490 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The 2013-2014 school year also brings us a new principal, Mr. Drew Ware, and a new assistant principal, Ms. Katie Caggia. Both administrators are currently in place and have quickly become familiar with our school and its students. Mr. Ware takes special pride in knowing each of his 566 students by name. SCHOOL ARTS PROGRAMS • Estes Hills offers Art and Music instruction in accordance with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for elementary school students,, with a full-time professional in each "specials" discipline: Art, Music, and Physical Education (which incorporates Dance). • The volunteers leading the PTA's Cultural Enrichment Committee promote the cultural arts in education by bringing professional artists to perform at our school. During 2012-2013, the following performers visited Estes Hills Elementary School: Bright Star performed for the K-2nd grade students, bringing the stories of Johnny Appleseed, Daniel Boone, and Paul Bunyan to life by combining traditional American Tall Tales with toe-tapping, old fashioned, southern style bluegrass music for an upbeat production that had our students fully engaged. Hobey Ford performed his "Migration" story twice, once for our K-2nd grades and once for our 3`d-5th grades. In his original story, Mr. Ford told about a Mexican girl named Beatriz ("traveler") and her family's migration from their home near Mexico City to the United States interwoven with lessons about migration from the animal world. Mr. Ford utilized realistic puppets while performing behind a thin circular theatrical scrim onto which scenes were projected. In this way, the puppets appeared to be performing within the projected video scenes. Mr. Ford's "Migration" story truly came to life for our students. Donna Washington — Ms. Washington performed one show for our 3rd-5th graders. A vibrant, dynamic storyteller, Ms. Washington used her incredible vocal pyrotechnics, dramatic facial expressions, and dynamic physicality to make the stories she told come to life while conveying life lessons through her narratives. Relying on cultural traditions from around the world, Ms. Washington presented fairytales and folktales that completely captivated the students in our upper grades. Jabali African Acrobats —The Jabali African Acrobats from Mombasa, Kenya performed two shows at our school, one for our K-2nd grades and one for our 3rd-5'h grades. Making use of acrobatics, contortions, tumbling, human pyramids, chair balancing skills, and dance, they amazed our students and kept them on the edge of their seats. Exemplifying the link between athletics and the arts, their thrilling performances were set within a comedic framework and used electrifying music. During the 2011-12 school year, our students enjoyed the following performances: Transactors Improv did a "Back To School" themed improvisational show for 3rd_51n grades. Transactors Improv is the oldest active improvisational theater group in the South. Their work focuses on emotion, physicality, character, commitment, teamwork, and fun. Their approach to improvisation revolves around discovery rather than invention. Doug Berky incorporated storytelling styles from many diverse cultures into his presentations at the school. His performances include the use of masks, mime, inventive costumes, and puppetry to introduce families to a collection of wisdom stories from around the world. David Gonzalez presented "Cuentos — Tales from the Latino World," creating a vivid .and captivating picture of the people and rich cultures of the Spanish-speaking world with colorful tales from the Caribbean, South America, and the Bronx. Farmer Jason presented a concert of sing-alongs and good-time songs. Whether it is the diversity of our natural world, or where good, healthy food really comes from, or the farm and forest animals around us, Jason transforms family music, pulling from his own musical journey pioneering the fusion of punk rock and country. In previous years, performances have included: The Hoop of Life by Native American hoop dancer, Kevin Locke The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by Bright Star Children's Theatre Fiesta Flamenco by the Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana dance troupe The Legend of Chocolate by The Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre Native Voices by Lakota storyteller Dovie Thomason Magical Mask, Mime and Music of Japan by Kuniko Yamamoto Hands and Feet Speak by Djembe Fire (African dancing and drumming) Chinese Dance Collection by Yu Wei Jackie Robinson:A Game Apart by Mike Wiley A jazz performance by Marcus Roberts Marsh Madness by Roger Day PROPOSED USES OF GRANT FUNDS For the third year in a row, income to our PTA and thus the Cultural Enrichment budget has decreased. This is due in part to the nationwide economic downturn and in part to the closing of the Carrboro branch of the PTA Thrift Shop during construction of an entirely new building. The Thrift Shop has been unable to provide district PTAs with the sustaining funds that have been received in the past. As a result, grant funds are greatly needed and appreciated in order to provide our students with cultural opportunities that they otherwise might not experience. The Estes Hills PTA Cultural Enrichment Committee plans to use the grant to help fund two performances during the fall of the 2013-2014 school year. Performances will take place in the school gymnasium during the regular school day, to best utilize the students' time and the committee's budget. For space considerations and developmental reasons, we divide the audience into two age groups consisting of the younger students (kindergarten through 2nd grade) and the older students (3`d grade through 5th grade). The 2013-2014 fall performances will be: Project Trio — On October 8th, 2013, Project Trio will perform two 50-minute shows, one for our K-2"d grades and one for our 3`d-5th grades. Project Trio is a passionate, high- energy chamber music ensemble comprised of three virtuosic composer/performers from Brooklyn, New York. Blending their classical training with an eclectic taste in musical styles, Project Trio has made an impact on audiences of all ages. Project Trio is a musical experience that defines a new level of entertainment. Project Trio has performed for over 100,000 students on three continents, including over 35 states in the U.S. By presenting instrumental music fused with hip-hop, rock, and pop, Project Trio truly bridges the gap between classical music and pop culture. Project Trio in-school concerts are tailored for the particular grades in the audience. Their concerts are high-octane chamber music experiences that are both aurally and visually stimulating. Project Trio takes the students on a journey through multiple genres and styles of music, including classical, jazz, rock, salsa, hip-hop, and their own original music. The concert features famous composers like Tchaikovsky, Mingus, Prokofiev, Brubeck, and Beethoven. Project Trio's concerts often involve full audience participation and a beatbox tutorial that will have every student (and teacher) beatboxing for the rest of the year! Felix Pitre— On November 7th, 2013, Felix Pitre will present two performances of his work, "Stories & Songs of Latin America," one show for our K-2nd grades and one show for our 3rd-5th grades. Mr. Pitre was born in Cataho, Puerto Rico, and moved to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in New York City and attended The New York City High School for the Performing Arts. Mr. Pitre has been performing his bilingual shows to the delight of audiences since the mid-1970s. In his interactive program, Mr. Pitre shares many of the Hispanic traditions that were passed down to him from his own family, bringing to life the culture of Latin America with puppetry, stories, songs, instruments, and dance. Performed mostly in English in his own bilingual style, Mr. Pitre takes the audience on a journey filled with laughter and learning. They may hear the story of Puerto Rico's folk hero, Juan Bob, or find the Jibaro's lessons in an alternate story, Paco and the Witch. After learning the origins of La Bamba, they join in singing the chorus and later perform a tri-lingual song (Spanish, English, and sign language) called Pollito-Chicken. And then there is Cocqui, the lovable frog puppet who steals the show (and sometimes a kiss) while helping the audience understand and appreciate people who speak with different accents. In the finale, audience members play Latin American percussion instruments as everyone joins in the Cuban favorite, Guantanamera. 2012 — 2013 Enrollment by Grade, Ethnicity, Gender KINDERGARTEN FOURTH GRADE Male Female Male Female White 26 18 White 35 31 Black 7 7 Black 8 4 Hispanic 15 5 Hispanic 3 10 Asian 4 3 Asian 5 4 Native American 1 0 Native American 1 0 Multi Racial 0 1 Multi Racial 2 4 Total 53 34 Total 54 53 FIRST GRADE FIFTH GRADE Male Female Male Female White 18 29 White 20 26 Black 5 9 Black 8 4 Hispanic 6 7 Hispanic 10 6 Asian 4 3 Asian 4 5 Native American 0 2 Native American 3 0 Multi Racial 1 5 Multi Racial 5 6 Total 34 55 Total 50 47 SECOND GRADE ALL GRADES Male Female Male Female White 28 26 White 158 150 Black 11 5 Black 47 34 Hispanic 5 3 Hispanic 47 36 Asian 4 4 Asian 27 21 Native American 1 0 Native American 6 3 Multi Racial 3 1 Multi Racial 15 21 Total 52 39 Total 300 266 THIRD GRADE Male Female White 31 20 Black 8 5 Hispanic 8 5 Asian 6 2 Native American 0 1 Multi Racial 4 5 Total 57 38 ` � f�i 2013-14 Arts in Education Application — Page Three G ORANGE COUNTY ARTS COMMISSION Financial Information Please provide a projected budget for your proposed project utilizing the format below.

Greg Pattillo, flute, Eric Stephenson, cello, and Peter Seymour, bass, are pushing the boundaries of classical music with a high-octane mix of jazz, hip-hop, and rock. The Trio performs to enthusiastic audiences of all ages in concert halls, clubs, and classrooms around the world. Acclaim for the Trio and its members runs the gamut from Downbeat Magazine, which praises PROJECT Trio as "packed with musicianship, joy, and surprise" to the New York Times, calling beatboxing flutist Greg Pattillo "the best in the world at what he does." The Wall Street Journal hails the group's "wide appeal, subversive humor and first-rate playing." The Trio, now in its sixth year, was forged out of a collective love of performing high energy, top quality music to diverse audiences. They are drawing new audiences to classical music and reinvigorating existing fans of chamber music through their innovative performances, recordings, and their YouTube channel, which has over 71 million views and 78,000 subscribers, making PROJECT Trio one of the most watched instrumental ensembles on the Internet. The Trio, which performs over 70 concerts a year, plays to fans of all ages in venues around the world including Carnegie Hall, where they made their debut in 2010. In addition to their extensive performing schedule, the Trio is dedicated to arts education, inspiring a whole new generation of concert going music lovers. Highlights of the Trio's 2012-13 season include concerts with the Charlotte Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony, New Jersey Symphony, Walla Walla Symphony, the Britt Festival, and the opening concerts of the Chicago Sinfonietta. The Trio will perform and lead masterclasses in schools, universities, festivals and other venues throughout the US, including New York, New Hampshire, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio, Oregon, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. PROJECT Trio was selected by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, in partnership with American Voices, as one of the ensembles for their 2012-2013 season of American Music Abroad. Chosen for their musical excellence and educational capability, they will tour throughout the former Soviet Union to present original American music through public concerts, master classes, workshops, jam sessions with local musicians and media outreach. Other international engagements include a second tour of Germany in addition to a performance with the Neubrandenburg Philharmonic this fall. In 2012, the Trio gave their first concert as Family Concert Artists in Residence with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, as part of a three-year residency. Other performances last season included the Saint Louis Symphony, Charlotte Symphony, and tours to France, Germany, Austria and Canada. The Trio has also toured Australia and Hong Kong.

Their catalog-spanning Random Roads Collection was released by Tummy Touch Records on May 8, 2012, and immediately rose to No. 2 and 15 on Billboard's Canadian and US classical music charts and, in a rare feat, simultaneously debuted at No. 17 on the trade magazine's jazz charts. Each of PROJECT Trio's recordings soared to the top of the iTunes charts upon their release. Their disc Project Trio was acclaimed by Jazz Review as "a glorious celebration of the music of our time." This disc builds on the sound that is at the foundation of the group's success, with heavy hitting originals such as Dr. Nick and Fast and reinterpretations of Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses and Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo a la Turk. Their debut CD, Winter in June showcases the versatility of PROJECT Trio with 12 original compositions from classical to jazz, and hip-hop to experimental acoustic sounds. Their follow up disc Brooklyn collects well known staples from their live show, with covers and originals and even complete overhauls from the likes of Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington, Theolonius Monk, JS Bach and Tchaikovsky, along with their own Brooklyn Suite, a collection of tone poems from the world they are surrounded by in the city of Brooklyn. After meeting at the Cleveland Institute of Music, they quickly realized that there was no repertoire written for the unique combination of bass, flute and cello. This forced the members to compose and arrange their own music, which they publish on their Harmonyville label. Original compositions by the trio are influenced by the sounds of jazz, hip-hop beatbox and rock. Their music can be heard in Nike and Smart Car commercials. Last year, the National Flute Association commissioned Pattillo to write "Three Beats for Beatbox Flute." Greg Pattillo recently demonstrated his beatbox style for Jay Leno and performed with the Tonight Show orchestra. Dedicated to engaging today's younger audiences, PROJECT Trio has performed and led workshops for over 100,000 students on three continents, including over 35 states in the US. PROJECT Trio is instantly recognizable to students of all ages as a result of their YouTube following and appearances on popular TV shows on Nickelodeon and MTV. Their educational programs are adapted to meet the National Standards for Music Education, with specialized curricula for age groups from elementary students through college. They held their first summer camp at the Bay View Music Festival in Michigan this summer. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Pattillo, Stephenson, and Seymour founded PROJECT Trio in Boulder, Colorado in the summer of 2005. The group initially came up with the idea to do one week "projects" in different cities around the US, with each project including education/community outreach events and concerts of classical works and their own music. The Trio got its big break in 2006 when Greg Pattillo's Beatbox Flute video went viral on YouTube, receiving millions of views in its first week. Reaching out to audiences of all ages through the Internet, live performances, and recordings, PROJECT Trio has since become one of the worlds most championed and exciting instrumental ensembles.

Lauded by The New York Times as "the best person in the world at what he does," his groundbreaking performance videos on YouTube, showcasing beatbox flute have been viewed more than 45 million times. Classically trained as a student of Joshua Smith at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Pattillo earned his first job as principal flutist of the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra. A desire to experiment with his sound led him to San Francisco where he became a founding member of the Collaborate Arts Insurgency, a group of writers, poets and musicians that performed shows of stylistic mash-ups throughout the bay area. This is where he began blending beatbox techniques and flute styles with the sounds of beat poetry and hip hop rhymes, ultimately developing his unique style combining classical music with the street art of beatboxing. After moving to NYC in 2005, he posted his first video on YouTube to show people what he did. The video "Inspector Gadget" instantly became one of the most watched videos on YouTube, leading Pattillo to numerous television appearances such NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Nickelodeon's iCarly, BBC's Lilly Allen Show, Fox's Best Damn Sports Show Ever, and MTV's It's On with Alexa Chung, and launching the success of beatbox flute and PROJECT Trio. Today, Pattillo enjoys a multifaceted career as a performer, educator, and clinician, and continues to love sharing and preaching his sound. In 2011, the National Flute Association commissioned Pattillo to write "Three Beats for Beatbox Flute" for the High School Soloist Competition. Greg performs exclusively on BRIO! Flutes.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Packed with musicianship,joy, and surprise!" Downbeat Magazine "PROJECT Trio is a glorious celebration of the music of our time." Jazz Review "Greg Pattillo is the best in the world at what he does."

The Avenue (Montreal) "PROJECT Trio is a threesome of extremely talented individuals with affable personalities, stretching the boundaries of what "classical" means today. The trio's joyful demeanor, comfortable stage presence, and theatrical performance were entertaining and memorable."

The Chautauquan Daily "PROJECT Trio runs on high-octane chamber music!" Tallahassee Democrat "Beethoven 5, the CD's opening track, lasting only fifty-three seconds, serves as the perfect prelude to the rest of the album. If you're already a fan, it reminds you why, and if you're hearing their music for the first time it's a great introduction to their style."

Belle Vivant "PROJECT Trio reminds one of a time when the idea of starting a band was something magical--when it was all about the music, the creativity, the friendship and the exhilaration of performing...

Although most of the program is in English (except La Bamba), Spanish words are used and explained throughout in Felix's unique bilingual style. The students sing Mexico's La Bamba after learning its history and meaning, experience Juan Bobo and the Pig or Paco and the Witch of Puerto Rican folklore and participate in a Latin American favorite,Pollito, Chicken complete with sign language. Coqui,the lovable puppet, speaks with an accent helping others to understand that everyone has some kind of accent and what we say is more important than how we speak. An author himself, Felix encourages the students to tell stories,write them down and continue developing these skills so that maybe someday they too may write a story for others to enjoy and possibly get published. La Bamba,the well known Mexican American favorite, opens the program. Felix explains the origin of the song as a tune played at weddings in Veracruz by the mariachis, the wedding musicians. The bride and groom dance while tying a ribbon on the floor into a bow with their feet! After a brief explanation on the role of the teeth,tongue and facial areas in speaking different languages and learning the meanings of the words used,Felix introduces a folktale from Puerto Rico: (ONE of the two following stories depending on age group) K-3 Paco and the Witch-This story,based on an old legend(and Felix's second book),tells of Paco, a boy living in the mountains of Puerto Rico with his family,who is sent to the village below to buy some turr6n(a nougat and wafer candy from Spain)for that night's fiesta. The boy stops by the woods on the way to the store and meets an old woman who is the witch his grandmother had warned him about. She traps him with a spell that can only be broken by guessing her name. Luckily,the friendly crab comes to his rescue. After the story the audience is asked what lesson, if any,Paco learned from his experience. Answers have ranged from"don't talk to strangers"to"don't take drugs"to the memorable"always be nice to crabs, `cause you never know when you might need their help." 4-12 Juan Bobo and the Pig -Based on the Puerto Rican folkhero,Juan Bobo,this story (which is also Felix's first book)recounts the adventures of Juan,whom everyone calls a fool. But he manages to teach a lesson and prove he's not as foolish as others may think. Juan's mother dresses up and goes to church on Sunday leaving him in charge of the pig. As soon as she is gone the pig starts squealing and when it refuses Juan's offering of food(pork chops)and drink(soda)Juan comes to the conclusion that the pig wants to go to church too. He dresses the pig in his mother's best clothes and sends it to church. The pig, however,only wants to roll in the mud. The result,when Juan's mother returns, is the basis for a well known Puerto Rican saying that chides those who overdress and stresses the value of truth and sincerity. (OVER ) Stories and Songs of Latin America Page 2 Study Guide Sign Language Song(Pollito Chicken)-This is a favorite Latin American song used to teach children English words. Felix turns it around to teach Spanish and takes it one step further by using American Sign Language. After learning the song and the signs,two volunteers are invited to help Felix and the rest of the audience sing the song. Co ui-A coqui is a little frog that only lives in Puerto Rico. If you take a coqui from the island, it dies and no one knows why. Coqui(the puppet in our story)has come to visit and speaks with a Puerto Rican accent providing an opportunity to learn that everyone speaks with some kind of accent,be they from Cuba,Argentina, Chile, etc., or from the many regions of the United States. He's learned to speak English by listening to the radio and watching television(as many others have)and sings his song with the help of an invited audience member. Finale-La Bamba is performed again,this time in a more Caribbean style with audience volunteers playing Latin percussion instruments-maracas, giiiro, gidra,pandereta(tambourine),campana(cow bell),palitos (claves)and tambor(drum). Each instrument is explained and after a quick demonstration of how it is played,Felix invites two dancers to help him perform the song. After this number there is a short version of Cielito Lindo and a discussion of the importance of all our cultures and how each one of us can contribute to making a better world.
